Denizens, for the last few years there’s been a pre-Christmas tradition where Supreme General Rayegun (and General, if you’re reading this, would you mind checking in, please?) or I would post the US Military’s take on the arrival of who Vonda Shepard lovingly calls “the man with the bag”.

(Incidentally, if you’ve never heard her belt that one out, go find it and give it a listen. That’s some of the best big-band orchestra jazz this scribe’s ever heard. When the horns do their solo, crank it up and just enjoy. Damn.)

Anyway, this year it’s your fellow Denizen David Hartung’s turn to post it, and he’s done a magnificent job thereof, if I do say so myself. Good job, blog-son.

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated. (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)
